1951 Amer. Mineralogist 36 614 The present study..indicates that Cornu was correct in his statement that ilsemannite is derived from a black colloidal molybdenum sulfide, and although Cornu did nothing to establish the name ‘jordisite’, the occurrence in Oregon should confirm the name as a valid one for the mineraloid.
1966 Prof. Papers U.S. Geol. Surv. No. 550 -B. 120/1 Much of the jordisite occurs in medium-grained to coarse-grained sandstone.
